Create a DBAE (Discipline Based Art Education) lesson that is appropriate to a specific elementary grade level. You should address at least one specific area within DBAE philosophy (Art Production, Art History, Aesthetics, and/or Art Criticism). Look at the PA Standards as you consider your lesson ideas. Stay away from superficial lesson choices and consider all of the following questions when designing a lesson:
“What is the big idea of the lesson?”
“What are the essential questions?”
“What DBAE concept(s) will the children learn?”
“What will students learn in the materials?”
“What materials are appropriate in teaching this lesson?”
“How does the lesson incorporate Bloom’s Taxonomy?”
“What handouts/posters/samples would be necessary in creating this lesson? These should be included under materials area.”
“How would you adapt this lesson to a special needs child?

Design Your Elementary Art Curriculum Guide/Unit Frameworks (50points)
Your principal has decided that you may have complete control over what you teach since you are starting a program (wouldn’t that be nice?). Research school curriculum samples on the internet and in the library to decide on the format and philosophy (Psychological Development, DBAE, Multicultural and Visual Culture) for your own curriculum guide design. Write a curriculum for 1 elementary grade level for your school. You will need to consult the PA State Standards/Kindergarten Standards although you have complete freedom otherwise (Use Ch. 17 pps. 341 - 377 in Hurwitz as a reference for deciding what will be included for each grade K- 5).
Design a flexigon book that you could use to teach something. Besides paper and matboard, materials are open. Be prepared to share these with the group next class during a critique session and be able to explain the content and how you used the elements of art and principles of design.
Guidelines:
1. Your book should effectively utilize the space on both sides of the book. It should have 2 covers, your name, title of the book and be tied closed.
2. Your book needs to show at least 4 hours of time spent on the series and be well-designed (showing the elements of art and principles of design). 3. It needs to be a high quality sample that could be used in your teaching. Your book should show neatness and craftsmanship. 4. There should be an obvious theme and show originality/uniqueness.
Definition of Assignment: Artist Trading Cards Assignment (100 points)
History
Artist trading cards can be traced back to the Mail Art and Fluxus movements of the 1960s and even earlier to the Dadaist movement of the 1920as. In 1996–1997 Swiss artist M. Vänci Stirnemann developed the concept of artist trading cards when, inspired by sports trading cards, he created and exhibited 1,200 cards in his bookstore/gallery in Zurich, Switzerland (www.artist-trading-cards.ch). Rather than sell his cards, Stirnemann invited anyone who wanted a card to create his or her own ATC to trade during the closing reception. In 2000, Stirnemann collaborated with Chuck Stake from Canada to stage “The First International Biennial of Artist Trading Cards,” at the New Gallery in Calgary (www.thenewgallery.org/atcmedia.html), which included cards created by eighty artists from ten different countries. Since then, ATCs have become a worldwide cultural phenomenon with ATC trading sessions occurring in cities around the globe.
Assignment
Do some research on artist trading cards and the specific ways they can be used in an art lesson. What rules would you have for trading cards with students? Be prepared to discuss your research next class. You also need to create at least 3 original mixed media artist trading cards that you will trade with students next class. You need to bring a small letter-sized envelope in to turn your cards in for grading. See below for guidelines.
Guidelines
1. Your series should incorporate something you have learned about artistic development (or the psychological stages of children’s art) into the cards.
2. Your series of 3 cards needs to show at least 3 hours of time spent on the series and be well-designed (showing the elements of art and principles of design).
3. The cards should be be exactly 2.5 “x 3.5.”
4. Mixed media should be incorporated into the cards in some way. However, they should be flat enough to fit into a trading card sheet.
5. “Artist Name: (Your Name),” as well as your title and materials should be written on the back of the cards
